The XP-G R4 is just around the corner [ There is talk of 350Lumen ] and it certainly sounds interesting , I talked to the importer here , and they have a delivery date , so hopefully it wont be to long before I get my hands on a R3 and a R4 XP-G , the P60 pill is ready and waiting .
Depends if 4Sevens already has his.Im not sure , but am I the first flashaholic with some R5's ?
I was thinking more along the line of Retail Purchase !Depends if 4Sevens already has his.
Considering his name was in the Cree press release, I'm guessing you might not be first in line

The XP-G's have arrived , picked up a R3 and two R5's this morning ....
Im not sure , but am I the first flashaholic with some R5's ?
I have taken delivery of some XPG's on the 10mm pad from cutter.
I mounted the XPG R4 into the DX (originally XPE) P60 Drop-in.
The result?
Very dissapointing!
Despite the Drop-in reflector hole matching the size of the XPG perfectly, the XPG emitter is the same size as the XPE, the resultant pattern and output was horrible. The hotspot is virtually non existant, no matter how far in or out the emitters dome extends into the reflector, it seems impossible to focus the beam. The light output was somewhat dissapointing too.
I have to say, that so far I have been very dissapointed with the XPE/XPG sized emitter for flashlight use.
Having said all that, the XPG would probably be a cloud burner with a 50+mm glass aspheric lens.. It just doesn't seem that these emitters work all that well with reflector style flashlights.
